The present call for tenders concerns a framework agreement for the procurement of audit services. The framework agreement covers audits of the region's main business, as further defined in the tender documents, as well as audits of externally financed projects. In addition, the framework agreement provides for the possibility for the contracting entity to request ad-hoc tasks in relation to the audit tasks if the need arises. The tenderers must therefore also bid with some hourly rates for different employee categories.

Reference is made to Section II.1.4 of the contract notice.
